Friendship Project

In today’s digital age, it's far too easy to become a friend, and far too easy to be unfriended. It all takes on a whole new meaning. Then you start to wonder about what “friendship” really means in a world of social networking.

Join us for an intimate dinner and conversation about friendship, how we think about it, and how it manifests in our daily lives. Even though we’re more connected than ever, are we more alienated than ever?

Erin Fong, an insta-influencer and co-owner of Western Editions, has kicked off “The Friendship Project", an art venture and examination of the changing nature of how we communicate and cultivate lasting relationships. It's one part research and interview and one part printing gathered advice.
